From my experience it's much easier to shift the bar from side to side with this style j hook and it takes away the issue of the uhmw plastic wearing down towards the screws on the base rogue model j cups

Not a big reverse hyper guy but this model felt solid, I hate when I use one and it moves around. The z is a little beefer and has a handle adjustments but feels very similar otherwise. If you use it for nothing else it will at least be a nice coffee table for the gym... I've sat on top and did leg extensions with it before and some different row variations as well

Runner hex dumbbells, probably made in the same factory as every other brand with a different brand name slapped on them. Cap is a soild brand but nothing special.

One of the most expensive dumbbells you can buy and for good reason, top strength in RI has a set and there amazing, fully customizable. Doesn't get much more expensive then these Watson's dumbbells

When I bought my belt squat he gave me 3 belts with it and this was one of them. I much prefer the belt that came with the belt squat from rogue as it's more comfortable and you can adjust the size very easily

Got this for my wife and really helped her bench and avoid an old shoulder injury

Used these at Americas strongest man for the circus dumbbell and had to adjust / tighten them every time, would much rather use an axle collar

Had to get a higher capacity scale to weight our stones / kegs but good for anything under 440lb
